The acute observer cannot have failed to note, that while Mr. Bauer was craftily putting on an appearance of frankness in giving his views as a candidate in his speech before the Convention that nominated him, he entirely neglected the essential point of stating whether he believes in vaccination. .

Some of the papers are in a great rage with some outgoing Congressman, who is said to have offered his quota of Agricultural Reports for sale at 50c a copy. It is rather a reflection on the whole IT.

The vote was as follows : Bun (well 152, u?i . J! J.'B. Tarbox 2, Dilawam county has set an example such as might have been followed with great advantage by Franklin, in nominating one of the very best and ablest of its citizens for the Constitutional Convention. Judge Thomas C. Jones is the man, and his high character for integrity, ca pacity, intelligence, culture, and all the qualities which distinguish the man of mark in a refined and cultivat ed community, is ' widely known and approved. In all those . at tributes which are common to men of thought and observation, combined with natural gifts, Judge Jones is the equal of any man. Moreover, he has character istics of a peculiar nature, which give him pre-eminence as a suitable and valuable addition to the common stock of wis dom and ability to be brought together (let us hope) by the Constitutional Con vention. ' Judge Jones is not only an able lawyer, an experienced jurist, a gentleman of culture and social standing, but he is eminent as a practical agriculturist, ,ef well-known skill and decided love for the farmer's life, duties, rights and privileges. It is no disparagement of : the farming class to say that it will have few opportunities to place its interests in such competent hands as the nomination of Judge Jones has given. Whatever interest that class of community may have to conserve in the constitution will be most ably and efficiently protected by men of such exceptional character as Judge Jones. And he is sound and reliable at all points. We congratulate the people of the whole State that he wan induced to reconsider his determination, two or three times expressed, not to be a candidate, and finally yield to the urgent and repeated entreaties of the people of Delaware so far as to permit the use of his name as a candidate after a unanimous nomination. We cannot believe the people of Delaware county will fail to secure to the State the benefits to accrue from the sitting of such a man in the Constitutional Convention. It is beyond the power of words to express the sensation which chilled the marrow of our Presbyterian spine ort examining a copy of the "Cincinnati Weekly Gazette," sent to us by a rash friend in Cincinnati. On the seventh page of this sheet we find an advertisement nearly five inches long, announcing in unhallowed type of bad, bold-faced brazen impudence) the drawing of an ungodly lottery. At first we clung to the belief that this must be a wicked trick of the Commercial. The Commercial, out of the sinfulness of its heart, adopted nearly seven years ago the exact style of type which the Gazette had foreordained and predestinated for its own special use. When it doubled itself across the stomach for the purpose of be guiling its readers into the belief that they were getting more for their money than was actually the case, it could not go back on the foreordained type. Neither could it revise its predestinated decree of assuming the quarto form a benevolent plan, freighted with such hap piness to a people whose highest joy it was to feel that they were getting more out of the good Gazette than they paid for. If some wicked people should be misled by the similarity in outward appearance into buying the Gazette under the impression that it was their favorite wickedness the Commercial, so much the better much work might be unobtrusively done in the vineyard in this way, by the good Gazette. It was this similarity, however, which gave us hope that the disquieting Weekly received by us might be a trick of the sinful Commercial, to deceive the unwary. But further examination deprives us of this consolation. A terrible discovery was made the smallest editorials come first ! This is the style of the Gazette, which opens the game with its pawnB, as it were; while the Commercial brings its heaviest artillery to the front. Wo could no longer doubt that the paper before us is the true Gazette. The voice is the voice of the Commercial, but the hair is that of the Gazette. There is no room for doubt it is it must be the Gazette I And there, in the midst of health-giving "liver regulators," "bitters," "instant relief," "cough killers." "hair dves." 'sewing machines," "tooth pow ders," "consumption can be cured," scrofula and skin medicines," "private advice to youthful indiscreet persons," and all the trulyjgood remedies which the Gazette carries into the bnsom of tire family circles of this glorious Christian land there, right in the midst of these Gospel privileges, we find this impenitent lottery, leading the innocent victims astray, and causing them instead of send ing their money to the heathen in Ire land and New Jersey, to fritter it away in vain policy tickets. And this advertisement is signed with the name of one of the very men dragged before the Corcoran Investigating Committee by the editor of the Commercial ! We call upon that bland and shining candlestick of the sanctuary, Deacon Smith, to explain this wretched pleasantry which has been concocted by some enemy of his, for the defilement of his good name. How is it. brother Smith T Doxx Piatt complains that cooing couples fortify themselves and erect their abattis and breastworks on the staircases at Washington parties, until they prevent rheumatic old warriors from reach ing the cloik room. Donn ta usually supposed to be a man of resources, yet he has never suggested a supply of step-ladders for the use of such couples. And what could be more picturesque and beautiful than a thousand or two stepladders, scattered throughout the Assembly rooms, and occupied by the gay combatants in this pretty warfare T Tub Akron Beacon is independent and vigorous.

Bis- It is dull work saying anything about a paper which is chiefly the dead matter of another publication. This is the. sort of second hand publication the Statesman "has arrived to be." It catches up what drops from the Daily Dispatch, and masticates it into suitable shape for supple mentary digestion; this is then presented to Democratic readers as the succulent juices of the true apple of knowledge by the great and only central Democratic organ, published on Sunday or Monday, as wind and weather permits. It is not to be wondered at that such food has disor dered the Stateman's digestion, until it secretes only diseased chyle, reacting upon the auditory nerve, (There is positively no allusion to Samuel or the delinquent tax H intended.) a It is dull work, we say, 'lo notice such a paper. Perhaps you give the old fellow a gentle tap in a friendly way, as a sort of constitutional before breakfast, and he remains to all appearance dead for a week. Then long after you haxs.iorgot- ten all about it, in the hurry of more modern events, yon hear a feeble snog, such as a heavy sleeper gives in waking, and the old thing makes an imbecile dab at you which you are surprised to learn is intended as the return blow for your for gotten playfulness of a now extinct era, in the dead past. Nevertheless, the Statesman is still the Democratic State organ or at least what there is loft of its organic remains. We feel it incumbent upon us to salute it with an occasional complimentary shaking up, just as one bangs the dust out of an old rag bag, containing only the smelly re- mains of what was once raiment, more or less gorgeous in beauty, strength, and use fulness. We are reproached for cruelly on this score. 1 he reproach is undeserved. The Statesman has the life kept in it by the percussion of our gentle, stimulating whacks. It pulsates only once a week, and its circulation is feeble and fluctuat ing. There is not blood enough at best to flush a spanking with, even if it were all precipitated to tlio part affected ; but it would stagnate like a midge's tear if we did not occasionally start it on again with gentle violence.

BY TELEGRAPH 20 TEE OHIO STATE JOURNAL. CINCINNATI. The Probate Judge Explains tbe Law to tbe Mayor or Glendale Urn. Fremont In Financial Troable-He and His Partner Declared Bankrupts Knights of Pyinlne. Cincinnati, March 12. In the Probate Court in this city to-day, in tbe case of a prisoner arrested in Glendale charged with petit larceny, tried by the Mayor of Glendale, and, after pleading not guilty, convicted and sentenced, and afterward brought before the Probate Court on a writ of habeas corpus, Judge Tilden, of mat court, deemed the action of the Mayor of Glendale null and void, and tnat tue laws or Ohio gave him final jurisdiction in such cases only when the defendant pleaded guilty; otherwise he could only bind the defendant to the grand jury. In the United States Court to-day, the firm of S. W. Morton & Co., composed of a. w . Morton and J olin (J. Jf remorrt. were declared bankrupt as a firm, . This firm I 1 1 l-.l !.. .1 mi' i cuniniuteu in toiu to excavate me railroad tunnel under Walnut Hills. S. W. Morton resided here and man aged the business, and General Fremont remained in New York State. Wagons, horses and tools for the work were purchased and debts were con tracted to the amount of $10,000 or $12,000, and after a time the property was sola by Morton, and rat McHeown. a creditor of the firm, was paid $3500. Last October, Colonel John T. Williamson, whom the firm owed $6000 for lumber, filed a petition in the United States Court to have the firm declared bankrupt. The ground of the petition was that the tirm suspended payment fourteen days, and that Morton, the man ager, had absented himself from the city to avoid legal process. General. Ward represented Gen. Fremont and demurred to tbe peti tion, raising the question of liability of one partner lor the acts ot another in his absence. Tbe court held that all members of a firm were bound by a note given by the business manager of a firm, and that, as brokers and traders, thenon-payment for ten days was an act of bankruptcy, and so overruled the demurrer. . The counsel for the firm and each of the partners filed an answer denying all the allegations of the petitions as acts of bankruptcy. The trial came up on the 10th inst., and the cose was argued two days and to-night went to the jury, and a verdict has been returned for John T. Williamson, the petitioning creditor. - During the trial, John C. Fremont offered to pay the claim of the petitioning creditor and compromise the case, but Col. Williamson refused this offer, unless Gen. Fremont would pay all other creditors affected by the transaction in question. Tbe compromise was not made, as other claimants against the firm had combined with Williamson to pay the expenses of the trial, and counsel for Gen. Fremont refused to compromise because they denied the justice of the other claims. , . Gen. Ward, for defendants, moved a new trinl. This evening it is stated the case will be taken upon error. The Grand Lodgn of the Knights uf Pythias of Ohio convened at Dayton today. To-morrow noon the session closes, and a parado will be given. The afternoon sessions arc private. MURDER AND ARSON. Four Persons Murdered In Hissis-nlpwt and tbe Building- Burned to ibo Uround-M.A Horrible Crime Shrouded In Mystery. Memphis, Tenn., March 12. The Vicksburg, Miss., Herald of the 8th says : ine steamer it. li. j-wrl arrived yesterday, and her officers bring further particulars of the Rolling Fork fire, and loss of life and the store of Messrs. Ring & Moore, as before stated, which was destroyed by fire during Tuesday night and Wednes day morning. The charred remains of Jesse Moore and Mrs. Moore, Mr. Good hue and a child named Billy Jones, were taken from the debris. The skull of Mr. Moore had been broken in across the forehead, evidently with nn ax, and the head of Mr. Goodhue had been almost severed from the body, and had also the appear ance of an ax wound. The bodies of Mrs. Moore and the child showed no evidence of any wounds. Mr. Joe Tyng is misBing, and it is tearcd that lie liasalso been foully dealt with. It was supposed at Rolling Fork that Mr, Ring had gone to Vicksburg on a steamer a day or two previous to the occurrence, but nothing has been heard of him by his friends here. Billy Jones, the child, was seven or eight years old, and had been left with Mrs. Moore by a well known raftsman while he was engaged in other sections of the country. Rolling Fork landing is on Sunflower river, at the mouth of a short stream which connects Sunflower with Deer creek. The store of King & Moore is the only house at the landing, and was used as a storing depot for all goods put off there. It is supposed that there were a good many inflammable goods there at the time of the fire. The explosion of powder was heard for several miles around. The murdering of four or five persons, and the burning of the house to conceal the crime, is enough, of course, to arouse all sections of the .country adjacent, and an intense excitement prevails. No clue had at last accounts been obtained of the perpetrators of the horrible crime. Two suspicious characters were seen in the neighborhood previous to the occurrence, and they have disappeared. Robbery was doubtless the principal object in view, but the fiends being discovered at this, they probably murdered the inmates of the house and then fired it, hoping to hide all traces of their bloody work. The body of Mr. Goodhue was brought to this city, and was buried from St. Paul's Church yesterday afternoon. The building and stock of Ring & Moore were insured in different agencies in this city for about $7000. LOUISVILLE. Jill I Harping- the Bank Burglary.Louisville, Msrch 12.

There is probably no election for Governor by the people. No figures on the Governor's vote can be given, as they have not been returned. Democrats are undoubtedly elected from each of the districts: Ellery A. Hubbard from the first, Samuel N. Bell from the second and H. W. Parker from the third.

RESERVE LEGAL TENDEB3. The Secretary of the Treasury states that the use by the department of the legal tender reserves will not exceed three millions, and it is hardly expected to be much over two millions. The amount drawn from the reserve fund is for the convenience of the department alone, has no relation whatever to the money market, and is not concentrated at any one place, but distributed in paying warrants to parties all over the country. There is no intention at the department to per manently expand the currency, and in his views upon this subject Assistant Secretary Richardson fully accords with Mr, Boutwell, SENATOR ELECT BOUTWELL, Judge Richardson will to-morrow as sume charge of the Treasury Department as Acting Secretary, Mr. Boutwell having tnis alternoon made Ins last omcial signature. He, however, has not yet written his letter of resignation, and will not until bis credentials arrive, which will be tomorrow night. Senator Sumner called on Mr. Boutwell this afternoon, and con gratulated him in these words: "I congratulate the country, I congratulate the State, and I congratulate myself on having you as my colleague."

Extraordinary Session of tbe Senate of tbe Forty-third Congress. ' Washington, March 12. The Vice-President announced that he would be absent to-day and to-morrow. On motion of Mr. Anthnnv. it wah re solved that Mr, Carpenter act as Presi dent pro (em. in the absence of the Vice President. Mr. Carpenter, having taken the chair, thanked the Senate for the honor. It would be his constant endeavor to per- lorin nis uuiy luuniuiiy. On motion of Mr. Anthony, the Secretary of the Senate was directed to wait on the President and inform him of this ac tion. On motion of Mr. Anthony, the elec tion oi standing committees was proceeded with. Mr. Anthony offered the following resolution, which was agreed to : Resolved, That it shall be the duty of the committee on Rules to make and in-force all rules and regulations respecting the reporter's gallery of the Senate and the occupation thereof, and said committee is directed to take such action from time to time as will confine the occupation of said gallery to bona fide reporters for daily newspapers, assigning not to exceed one seat to each paper, and said committee shall have power to provide a seat or seats on the floor for the Associated Press reporters and to regulate the occupation of the same. ine senate resumed the consideration of the Caldwell case. Mr. Conklinar said be could find nn In. stance in which the British Parliament, anterior to the statute and anterior to the order of the House of Commons which became the statute, annulled ab initio an election becauseot bribery by a candidate of a particular person. Mr. Logan argued that the election of senator Caldwell was an act of a Leeisla- ture behind which the Senate, as decided by the courts, could not go; but an at tempt was made to vitiate the election on the ground of a sinele act of bribery. Under what rule or authority was this to be done? By the statutes of England, which have no controlling or binding lorce upon us 7 tie caned upon the senator from Indiana (Morton) to produce one case parallel to that now before them. Mr. Morton alluding to Logan's course in the committee on Privileges and Elec-tions,said he was not prepared to hear his present argument. Mr. Logan replied that he did not de sire to detail a discussion before the com mittee, but it was enough for the Senate to know that he dissented from tbe report maue ny tlie committee in this case; and on examination he thought his former views were incorrect. He then proceeded to show that from the testimony the Senate would not be warranted in finding Caldwell guilty of any act of bribery, and that every witness on which the senator from Indana relied was contradicted by four or five witnesses of better reputation. wniie mr. Logan was quoting tbe testimony1 of Thomas J. Anderson against that of Sydney Clarke, Mr. Morton inter rupted by asking whether he did not know it was thought in the committee that Anderson's testimony was a perjury throughout ? Mr. Logan remarked that this was a most singular way of prosecuting a man in order to ruin him. Anderson's testi mony was that of a man, and he bore himself more like a man than those who were prosecuting Caldwell; as much could not be said of the testimony of Sydney Clarke ; there was no witness to contradict Anderson, but tbe witness on whom the Senator from Indiana leaned was contradicted, and his testimony impeached by competent witnesses. Mr. Stocton agreed there was no question here over which the Senate had control: the examination of individual mo tives was a violation of the Constitution and the most dangerour doctrine ever introduced; the Senate had no right to inquire beyond the Constitutional provision Mr. Morton replied to the legal part ot ine argument, maintaining tbe power to inquire into an election carried with it the right to inquire into everything connected with it. Senate had power to protect itself from a Senator elected by bribery.Debate on the case reserved for to-mor row. On motion of Mr. Conkling. it was re solved that the committee on Judiciary be instructed to inquire and report at the December session of the Senate whether the Union Pacific railroad or any compa ny authorized to build a branch road to connect therewith, or any assignee of such company will be entitled to lands or bonds for any road which such companv may hereafter construct ; and that until said committee shall report the executive officers of the Government are requested to issue no bonds or patent certificates that may be claimed for roads constructed and reported after this date. The Senate went into Executive session and soon afterward adjourned. CUBA. New Captain General tor Cuba Tbe Subject or tbe Abolition of Slave nnd it Probable Effect. Havana, March 10. Rumors are current of the departure of General Ceballos and that he will be succeeded by a Gen eral who will not only hold opinions cor- responuing wun those entertained by the present uovernment in spam, but will act in concert with the Government, The leading slaveholders have recently been in session almost nightly considering the situation, but have not yet been able to determine upon any plan of action or to arrive at any solution of the slavery question whenever the abolition decree becomes known. The position assumed or action taken by the conservative pro-slavery leaders will, however, be entirely immaterial, as the negroes are well intormed on everything going on and win certainly reiuse to work as slaves. It is rumored that the abolition of slavery has been already decreed, and the middle and poorer classes deprecate the carelessness of slave owners in mak ing no provision for the abolition of slavery, and the belief is gaining ground, that in the event of abolition being decreed the wealthy slave owners will become inimical to the prosperity of the isiana.

LoNDON.March 12. The scenes in the House of Commons last nlo-ht. whpn thn defeat of the Ministry on the Irish Uni- venuiy uin was announced, is indescribable. The excitement was intense. The opponents of the measure indulged in tumultuous cheers. Among those ia the strangers' gallery, which was crowded during the debate, were the Prince of Wales, Princess Louise and Prince Christian. The Scotch and Welch members supported the bill. The Catholics were unanimous in their opposition. After the announcement of the result, Gladstone arose and said : "The vote just triven is certainly of a grave character, and the House never wiBhes to continue its deliberations when the existence of the government is in doubt, I move an adjournment until Thursday." . The motion was carried. TONE OF THE PRESS. In consequence of tbe late hour at which the result was reached, the editorial comments in this morning's journals are meager ana restrained. The Advertiser and Standard are jubilant over the re jection, ine Advertiser savs it cannot imagine that even Gladstone will stoop to endeavor to remain in office. The Telegraph considers the resigna- Muu ui tue Ministry as exceedingly probable.The Times doubts that the Cabinet will take such a course, as the bill did not receive the vote of a single Conserva tive. Forty-seven Liberals, of whom thirtv- six were Irishmen, voted against it; fifteen Irish members voted for it. and ier. enteen members, including Isaac Bull. member from Limerick, were , absent. Forty members participated in the dehata. John Bright and Jacob Brieht. his broth. er, and the Marquis of Lome, supported me uovernment. GLADSTONE'S MOVEMENTS.

Information obtained to as lata an hour as 10 o'clock last night from members of tho government, shows that no definite course has yet been decided upon. xt is reported tnat uisraeu and uatborne Hardy strongly object to take office at the present juncture, but the rank and file of the Conservative nartv are ambi- uuuB-ui puwer ana ine leaders will proDa-bly yield to their desire; and, taking office, will dissolve Parliament quickly, aou go to ine country with tbe expecta tion oi winning thirty seats, and of keen. ing in office through tbe dissensions of ine uoerai8. There was a great gathering? at the Re form Club to-night, at which the Liberals who voted against the Government on the Irish University bill declared that they would support a vote of confidence if Gladstone is willing to accept it; but it is Known mat tne latter is anxious for a release from office. Last night's whip was the severest ever known in the House of Commons. One Conservative member was brouirht from Paris by a special steamer and railroad train, and a Liberal whip is reported to have beseeched Sir Robert Peel almost upon his knees to go to the House, but t !.i iruiuessiy, SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY.

A special to the World, dated London, 12th, says Tbe Cabinet set three hours to-day. with out arriving at a decision. Gladstone is anxious to resign and retire wholly from politics, but his colleagues are endeavor ing hi niuuce uuu mi remain upon condi tion of receiving a vote of confidence. If he insists on retiring, Lord Granville will endeavor to lorm a scratch cabinet, ex cluding Fortescue, Harrington and Mon- seu, and conduct the Uovernment through the present session. Gladstone saw the Queen to-day, who is iavoraoie to jJiBraeli. Hbe encouraged Gladstone to retire. Disraeli is ready to accept the office, but a portion of his colleagues object. Cairns is at Nice and Salisbury at Rome; their absence in creases the embarrassment. It is certain Gladstone will retire, but it is uncertain whether a dissolution of Parliament. Scotch Liberal cabinet, or a Tory administration will follow. If the latter, Disraeli will try to pass Fawcett's University ui,, auu men uibboivb, noping 10 return a large Conservative majority.

Tarbox 2, Dilawam county has set an example such as might have been followed with great advantage by Franklin, in nominating one of the very best and ablest of its citizens for the Constitutional Convention. Judge Thomas C. Jones is the man, and his high character for integrity, ca pacity, intelligence, culture, and all the qualities which distinguish the man of mark in a refined and cultivat ed community, is ' widely known and approved. In all those . at tributes which are common to men of thought and observation, combined with natural gifts, Judge Jones is the equal of any man. Moreover, he has character istics of a peculiar nature, which give him pre-eminence as a suitable and valuable addition to the common stock of wis dom and ability to be brought together (let us hope) by the Constitutional Con vention. ' Judge Jones is not only an able lawyer, an experienced jurist, a gentleman of culture and social standing, but he is eminent as a practical agriculturist, ,ef well-known skill and decided love for the farmer's life, duties, rights and privileges. It is no disparagement of : the farming class to say that it will have few opportunities to place its interests in such competent hands as the nomination of Judge Jones has given. Whatever interest that class of community may have to conserve in the constitution will be most ably and efficiently protected by men of such exceptional character as Judge Jones. And he is sound and reliable at all points. We congratulate the people of the whole State that he wan induced to reconsider his determination, two or three times expressed, not to be a candidate, and finally yield to the urgent and repeated entreaties of the people of Delaware so far as to permit the use of his name as a candidate after a unanimous nomination. We cannot believe the people of Delaware county will fail to secure to the State the benefits to accrue from the sitting of such a man in the Constitutional Convention. It is beyond the power of words to express the sensation which chilled the marrow of our Presbyterian spine ort examining a copy of the "Cincinnati Weekly Gazette," sent to us by a rash friend in Cincinnati. On the seventh page of this sheet we find an advertisement nearly five inches long, announcing in unhallowed type of bad, bold-faced brazen impudence) the drawing of an ungodly lottery. At first we clung to the belief that this must be a wicked trick of the Commercial. The Commercial, out of the sinfulness of its heart, adopted nearly seven years ago the exact style of type which the Gazette had foreordained and predestinated for its own special use. When it doubled itself across the stomach for the purpose of be guiling its readers into the belief that they were getting more for their money than was actually the case, it could not go back on the foreordained type. Neither could it revise its predestinated decree of assuming the quarto form a benevolent plan, freighted with such hap piness to a people whose highest joy it was to feel that they were getting more out of the good Gazette than they paid for. If some wicked people should be misled by the similarity in outward appearance into buying the Gazette under the impression that it was their favorite wickedness the Commercial, so much the better much work might be unobtrusively done in the vineyard in this way, by the good Gazette. It was this similarity, however, which gave us hope that the disquieting Weekly received by us might be a trick of the sinful Commercial, to deceive the unwary. But further examination deprives us of this consolation. A terrible discovery was made the smallest editorials come first ! This is the style of the Gazette, which opens the game with its pawnB, as it were; while the Commercial brings its heaviest artillery to the front. Wo could no longer doubt that the paper before us is the true Gazette. The voice is the voice of the Commercial, but the hair is that of the Gazette. There is no room for doubt it is it must be the Gazette I And there, in the midst of health-giving "liver regulators," "bitters," "instant relief," "cough killers." "hair dves." 'sewing machines," "tooth pow ders," "consumption can be cured," scrofula and skin medicines," "private advice to youthful indiscreet persons," and all the trulyjgood remedies which the Gazette carries into the bnsom of tire family circles of this glorious Christian land there, right in the midst of these Gospel privileges, we find this impenitent lottery, leading the innocent victims astray, and causing them instead of send ing their money to the heathen in Ire land and New Jersey, to fritter it away in vain policy tickets. And this advertisement is signed with the name of one of the very men dragged before the Corcoran Investigating Committee by the editor of the Commercial ! We call upon that bland and shining candlestick of the sanctuary, Deacon Smith, to explain this wretched pleasantry which has been concocted by some enemy of his, for the defilement of his good name. How is it. brother Smith T Doxx Piatt complains that cooing couples fortify themselves and erect their abattis and breastworks on the staircases at Washington parties, until they prevent rheumatic old warriors from reach ing the cloik room. Donn ta usually supposed to be a man of resources, yet he has never suggested a supply of step-ladders for the use of such couples. And what could be more picturesque and beautiful than a thousand or two stepladders, scattered throughout the Assembly rooms, and occupied by the gay combatants in this pretty warfare T Tub Akron Beacon is independent and vigorous.

Bis- It is dull work saying anything about a paper which is chiefly the dead matter of another publication. This is the. sort of second hand publication the Statesman "has arrived to be." It catches up what drops from the Daily Dispatch, and masticates it into suitable shape for supple mentary digestion; this is then presented to Democratic readers as the succulent juices of the true apple of knowledge by the great and only central Democratic organ, published on Sunday or Monday, as wind and weather permits. It is not to be wondered at that such food has disor dered the Stateman's digestion, until it secretes only diseased chyle, reacting upon the auditory nerve, (There is positively no allusion to Samuel or the delinquent tax H intended.) a It is dull work, we say, 'lo notice such a paper. Perhaps you give the old fellow a gentle tap in a friendly way, as a sort of constitutional before breakfast, and he remains to all appearance dead for a week. Then long after you haxs.iorgot- ten all about it, in the hurry of more modern events, yon hear a feeble snog, such as a heavy sleeper gives in waking, and the old thing makes an imbecile dab at you which you are surprised to learn is intended as the return blow for your for gotten playfulness of a now extinct era, in the dead past. Nevertheless, the Statesman is still the Democratic State organ or at least what there is loft of its organic remains. We feel it incumbent upon us to salute it with an occasional complimentary shaking up, just as one bangs the dust out of an old rag bag, containing only the smelly re- mains of what was once raiment, more or less gorgeous in beauty, strength, and use fulness. We are reproached for cruelly on this score. 1 he reproach is undeserved. The Statesman has the life kept in it by the percussion of our gentle, stimulating whacks. It pulsates only once a week, and its circulation is feeble and fluctuat ing. There is not blood enough at best to flush a spanking with, even if it were all precipitated to tlio part affected ; but it would stagnate like a midge's tear if we did not occasionally start it on again with gentle violence.

BY TELEGRAPH 20 TEE OHIO STATE JOURNAL. CINCINNATI. The Probate Judge Explains tbe Law to tbe Mayor or Glendale Urn. Fremont In Financial Troable-He and His Partner Declared Bankrupts Knights of Pyinlne. Cincinnati, March 12. In the Probate Court in this city to-day, in tbe case of a prisoner arrested in Glendale charged with petit larceny, tried by the Mayor of Glendale, and, after pleading not guilty, convicted and sentenced, and afterward brought before the Probate Court on a writ of habeas corpus, Judge Tilden, of mat court, deemed the action of the Mayor of Glendale null and void, and tnat tue laws or Ohio gave him final jurisdiction in such cases only when the defendant pleaded guilty; otherwise he could only bind the defendant to the grand jury. In the United States Court to-day, the firm of S. W. Morton & Co., composed of a. w . Morton and J olin (J. Jf remorrt. were declared bankrupt as a firm, . This firm I 1 1 l-.l !.. .1 mi' i cuniniuteu in toiu to excavate me railroad tunnel under Walnut Hills. S. W. Morton resided here and man aged the business, and General Fremont remained in New York State. Wagons, horses and tools for the work were purchased and debts were con tracted to the amount of $10,000 or $12,000, and after a time the property was sola by Morton, and rat McHeown. a creditor of the firm, was paid $3500. Last October, Colonel John T. Williamson, whom the firm owed $6000 for lumber, filed a petition in the United States Court to have the firm declared bankrupt. The ground of the petition was that the tirm suspended payment fourteen days, and that Morton, the man ager, had absented himself from the city to avoid legal process. General. Ward represented Gen. Fremont and demurred to tbe peti tion, raising the question of liability of one partner lor the acts ot another in his absence. Tbe court held that all members of a firm were bound by a note given by the business manager of a firm, and that, as brokers and traders, thenon-payment for ten days was an act of bankruptcy, and so overruled the demurrer. . The counsel for the firm and each of the partners filed an answer denying all the allegations of the petitions as acts of bankruptcy. The trial came up on the 10th inst., and the cose was argued two days and to-night went to the jury, and a verdict has been returned for John T. Williamson, the petitioning creditor. - During the trial, John C. Fremont offered to pay the claim of the petitioning creditor and compromise the case, but Col. Williamson refused this offer, unless Gen. Fremont would pay all other creditors affected by the transaction in question. Tbe compromise was not made, as other claimants against the firm had combined with Williamson to pay the expenses of the trial, and counsel for Gen. Fremont refused to compromise because they denied the justice of the other claims. , . Gen. Ward, for defendants, moved a new trinl. This evening it is stated the case will be taken upon error.

Ring & Moore, as before stated, which was destroyed by fire during Tuesday night and Wednes day morning. The charred remains of Jesse Moore and Mrs. Moore, Mr. Good hue and a child named Billy Jones, were taken from the debris. The skull of Mr. Moore had been broken in across the forehead, evidently with nn ax, and the head of Mr. Goodhue had been almost severed from the body, and had also the appear ance of an ax wound. The bodies of Mrs. Moore and the child showed no evidence of any wounds. Mr. Joe Tyng is misBing, and it is tearcd that lie liasalso been foully dealt with. It was supposed at Rolling Fork that Mr, Ring had gone to Vicksburg on a steamer a day or two previous to the occurrence, but nothing has been heard of him by his friends here. Billy Jones, the child, was seven or eight years old, and had been left with Mrs. Moore by a well known raftsman while he was engaged in other sections of the country. Rolling Fork landing is on Sunflower river, at the mouth of a short stream which connects Sunflower with Deer creek. The store of King & Moore is the only house at the landing, and was used as a storing depot for all goods put off there. It is supposed that there were a good many inflammable goods there at the time of the fire. The explosion of powder was heard for several miles around. The murdering of four or five persons, and the burning of the house to conceal the crime, is enough, of course, to arouse all sections of the .country adjacent, and an intense excitement prevails. No clue had at last accounts been obtained of the perpetrators of the horrible crime. Two suspicious characters were seen in the neighborhood previous to the occurrence, and they have disappeared. Robbery was doubtless the principal object in view, but the fiends being discovered at this, they probably murdered the inmates of the house and then fired it, hoping to hide all traces of their bloody work. The body of Mr. Goodhue was brought to this city, and was buried from St. Paul's Church yesterday afternoon. The building and stock of Ring & Moore were insured in different agencies in this city for about $7000. LOUISVILLE. Jill I Harping- the Bank Burglary.Louisville, Msrch 12.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. Tbe Legislature Largely Republican Tbe Election for Governor very Close. Concord, March 12. Returns from 141 towns show a net loss for the Republicans of about 900. There is probably no election for Governor by the people. No figures on the Governor's vote can be given, as they have not been returned. Democrats are undoubtedly elected from each of the districts: Ellery A. Hubbard from the first, Samuel N. Bell from the second and H. W. Parker from the third. In the Legislature the Republicans will have a strong majority, and also a ma jority in the Senate and Council. Une hundred and fortv-hve towns give Htraw IKep.) 27.47B. Weston 24.409. Blackmer 864.

This is a majority for Straw at present of about 1050. If the remaining nfty-three towns come in as last year, it will give straw a majority ot about 4UU. Republican Senators are elected in seven out of the twelve Districts, and District number two is in doubt. Three out of five Councilors elect are Republi cans, The Republicans have about forty majority in the Legislature. The three Congressional Districts return Democratic congressmen.

RESERVE LEGAL TENDEB3. The Secretary of the Treasury states that the use by the department of the legal tender reserves will not exceed three millions, and it is hardly expected to be much over two millions. The amount drawn from the reserve fund is for the convenience of the department alone, has no relation whatever to the money market, and is not concentrated at any one place, but distributed in paying warrants to parties all over the country. There is no intention at the department to per manently expand the currency, and in his views upon this subject Assistant Secretary Richardson fully accords with Mr, Boutwell, SENATOR ELECT BOUTWELL, Judge Richardson will to-morrow as sume charge of the Treasury Department as Acting Secretary, Mr. Boutwell having tnis alternoon made Ins last omcial signature.

Extraordinary Session of tbe Senate of tbe Forty-third Congress. ' Washington, March 12. The Vice-President announced that he would be absent to-day and to-morrow. On motion of Mr. Anthnnv. it wah re solved that Mr, Carpenter act as Presi dent pro (em. in the absence of the Vice President. Mr. Carpenter, having taken the chair, thanked the Senate for the honor. It would be his constant endeavor to per- lorin nis uuiy luuniuiiy. On motion of Mr. Anthony, the Secretary of the Senate was directed to wait on the President and inform him of this ac tion. On motion of Mr. Anthony, the elec tion oi standing committees was proceeded with. Mr. Anthony offered the following resolution, which was agreed to : Resolved, That it shall be the duty of the committee on Rules to make and in-force all rules and regulations respecting the reporter's gallery of the Senate and the occupation thereof, and said committee is directed to take such action from time to time as will confine the occupation of said gallery to bona fide reporters for daily newspapers, assigning not to exceed one seat to each paper, and said committee shall have power to provide a seat or seats on the floor for the Associated Press reporters and to regulate the occupation of the same. ine senate resumed the consideration of the Caldwell case. Mr. Conklinar said be could find nn In. stance in which the British Parliament, anterior to the statute and anterior to the order of the House of Commons which became the statute, annulled ab initio an election becauseot bribery by a candidate of a particular person. Mr. Logan argued that the election of senator Caldwell was an act of a Leeisla- ture behind which the Senate, as decided by the courts, could not go; but an at tempt was made to vitiate the election on the ground of a sinele act of bribery. Under what rule or authority was this to be done? By the statutes of England, which have no controlling or binding lorce upon us 7 tie caned upon the senator from Indiana (Morton) to produce one case parallel to that now before them. Mr. Morton alluding to Logan's course in the committee on Privileges and Elec-tions,said he was not prepared to hear his present argument. Mr. Logan replied that he did not de sire to detail a discussion before the com mittee, but it was enough for the Senate to know that he dissented from tbe report maue ny tlie committee in this case; and on examination he thought his former views were incorrect. He then proceeded to show that from the testimony the Senate would not be warranted in finding Caldwell guilty of any act of bribery, and that every witness on which the senator from Indana relied was contradicted by four or five witnesses of better reputation. wniie mr. Logan was quoting tbe testimony1 of Thomas J. Anderson against that of Sydney Clarke, Mr. Morton inter rupted by asking whether he did not know it was thought in the committee that Anderson's testimony was a perjury throughout ? Mr. Logan remarked that this was a most singular way of prosecuting a man in order to ruin him. Anderson's testi mony was that of a man, and he bore himself more like a man than those who were prosecuting Caldwell; as much could not be said of the testimony of Sydney Clarke ; there was no witness to contradict Anderson, but tbe witness on whom the Senator from Indiana leaned was contradicted, and his testimony impeached by competent witnesses. Mr. Stocton agreed there was no question here over which the Senate had control: the examination of individual mo tives was a violation of the Constitution and the most dangerour doctrine ever introduced; the Senate had no right to inquire beyond the Constitutional provision Mr. Morton replied to the legal part ot ine argument, maintaining tbe power to inquire into an election carried with it the right to inquire into everything connected with it. Senate had power to protect itself from a Senator elected by bribery.Debate on the case reserved for to-mor row. On motion of Mr. Conkling. it was re solved that the committee on Judiciary be instructed to inquire and report at the December session of the Senate whether the Union Pacific railroad or any compa ny authorized to build a branch road to connect therewith, or any assignee of such company will be entitled to lands or bonds for any road which such companv may hereafter construct ; and that until said committee shall report the executive officers of the Government are requested to issue no bonds or patent certificates that may be claimed for roads constructed and reported after this date. The Senate went into Executive session and soon afterward adjourned. CUBA. New Captain General tor Cuba Tbe Subject or tbe Abolition of Slave nnd it Probable Effect. Havana, March 10. Rumors are current of the departure of General Ceballos and that he will be succeeded by a Gen eral who will not only hold opinions cor- responuing wun those entertained by the present uovernment in spam, but will act in concert with the Government, The leading slaveholders have recently been in session almost nightly considering the situation, but have not yet been able to determine upon any plan of action or to arrive at any solution of the slavery question whenever the abolition decree becomes known. The position assumed or action taken by the conservative pro-slavery leaders will, however, be entirely immaterial, as the negroes are well intormed on everything going on and win certainly reiuse to work as slaves. It is rumored that the abolition of slavery has been already decreed, and the middle and poorer classes deprecate the carelessness of slave owners in mak ing no provision for the abolition of slavery, and the belief is gaining ground, that in the event of abolition being decreed the wealthy slave owners will become inimical to the prosperity of the isiana.

LoNDON.March 12. The scenes in the House of Commons last nlo-ht. whpn thn defeat of the Ministry on the Irish Uni- venuiy uin was announced, is indescribable. The excitement was intense. The opponents of the measure indulged in tumultuous cheers. Among those ia the strangers' gallery, which was crowded during the debate, were the Prince of Wales, Princess Louise and Prince Christian. The Scotch and Welch members supported the bill. The Catholics were unanimous in their opposition. After the announcement of the result, Gladstone arose and said : "The vote just triven is certainly of a grave character, and the House never wiBhes to continue its deliberations when the existence of the government is in doubt, I move an adjournment until Thursday." . The motion was carried. TONE OF THE PRESS. In consequence of tbe late hour at which the result was reached, the editorial comments in this morning's journals are meager ana restrained. The Advertiser and Standard are jubilant over the re jection, ine Advertiser savs it cannot imagine that even Gladstone will stoop to endeavor to remain in office. The Telegraph considers the resigna- Muu ui tue Ministry as exceedingly probable.The Times doubts that the Cabinet will take such a course, as the bill did not receive the vote of a single Conserva tive. Forty-seven Liberals, of whom thirtv- six were Irishmen, voted against it; fifteen Irish members voted for it. and ier. enteen members, including Isaac Bull. member from Limerick, were , absent.

Information obtained to as lata an hour as 10 o'clock last night from members of tho government, shows that no definite course has yet been decided upon. xt is reported tnat uisraeu and uatborne Hardy strongly object to take office at the present juncture, but the rank and file of the Conservative nartv are ambi- uuuB-ui puwer ana ine leaders will proDa-bly yield to their desire; and, taking office, will dissolve Parliament quickly, aou go to ine country with tbe expecta tion oi winning thirty seats, and of keen. ing in office through tbe dissensions of ine uoerai8. There was a great gathering? at the Re form Club to-night, at which the Liberals who voted against the Government on the Irish University bill declared that they would support a vote of confidence if Gladstone is willing to accept it; but it is Known mat tne latter is anxious for a release from office. Last night's whip was the severest ever known in the House of Commons. One Conservative member was brouirht from Paris by a special steamer and railroad train, and a Liberal whip is reported to have beseeched Sir Robert Peel almost upon his knees to go to the House, but t !.i iruiuessiy, SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY.

A special to the World, dated London, 12th, says Tbe Cabinet set three hours to-day. with out arriving at a decision. Gladstone is anxious to resign and retire wholly from politics, but his colleagues are endeavor ing hi niuuce uuu mi remain upon condi tion of receiving a vote of confidence. If he insists on retiring, Lord Granville will endeavor to lorm a scratch cabinet, ex cluding Fortescue, Harrington and Mon- seu, and conduct the Uovernment through the present session. Gladstone saw the Queen to-day, who is iavoraoie to jJiBraeli. Hbe encouraged Gladstone to retire. Disraeli is ready to accept the office, but a portion of his colleagues object. Cairns is at Nice and Salisbury at Rome; their absence in creases the embarrassment. It is certain Gladstone will retire, but it is uncertain whether a dissolution of Parliament. Scotch Liberal cabinet, or a Tory administration will follow. If the latter, Disraeli will try to pass Fawcett's University ui,, auu men uibboivb, noping 10 return a large Conservative majority.
